Tsha-tsha are clay figures adorned with a variety of religious motifs. Believers have been producing them by hand using casting moulds for more than 1000 years within the cultural sphere of Tibetan Buddhism. Once they have been consecrated, the figures are, for instance, stored in stupas, deposited under rock ledges and in caves, or worn on the body as personal companions.
